Seed Cycle

      ·        I am the seed.  (Children curl up into a ball on the floor.)

·        When I am planted in soil a root begins to grow.  (Have children straighten out one leg.)

·        My job as a root is to reach underground and suck up water and vitamins from the soil.  (Children can make slurping noises.)

·        Pretty soon hair roots begin to grow from my root.  (Have children slowly uncurl their other leg.)

·        A bud begins to push up through the ground.  (Children lift up their heads and push upwards.)

·        Soon, leaves form.  (Children spread out their arms.)
